Some of the config files in my ppa might be useful for you as well.
These two files are a bit different to the one in Alan's tree, but it
might help you create an implementation example that's  suitable for
your setup:

- https://github.com/fajarnugraha/freeradius-server/blob/v2.1.x-dhcp/raddb/policy.conf

Should be. The IP address assignment (whether static or dynamic) is
easy enough with a special instance of sqlipool like in the example.
If you only want static IP then you can even use only files without
db.

As for the filename, dictionary.dhcp has DHCP-Boot-Filename attribute,
though I haven't tried it. If you use the same filename for all
clients, then just do it like DHCP-Router-Address in the example (i.e.
put the attribute inside an "update reply" block). If each client has
it's own file, creating a custom table to store ip <-> filename
mapping and using sql expansion (%{sql: SELECT ....}) is the easy way
to do it.

Try it, and start a new thread to post your progress later.
